Can you react to one of Moon Myungjin's songs or Immortal Songs covers?

[@peacelovevegankpop]

I don't think i saw it on any of the lists. But could you please get the vocalists to react to NCT U's From Home Rearranged Version!?!? The vocals are out of this world!!! Also, only if you guys are interested, it would be so cool if the vocalists could react to NCT's [uncut] recording behind the scenes videos!! Its really amazing to see them in the recording booth!!!

Yes it sounds like a Taylor Swift song. Indie pop, i believe is the genre? Im not sure, but i think Rosé really suited this style of song. I was expecting something grungier but i really enjoyed this a lot.

[@exobherant12]

i believe so T.Swift's pop genre focused on indie pop and synth pop in 1989 album.

[@chichi8882]

this style of song is very rosé

[@noone-qx2kn]

Woah, ON THE GROUND is much more complex than I thought. I really love when they breakdown the songs. There is just satisfaction when you know what's really happening in the song.

[@Anisian]

I really love how you guys went through and broke down the song into understandable chunks so that even people who don't understand music theory can understand!

[@bbhhjszcldkswjhhrj3607]

Rosé won't be worldwide famous for nothing. Her voice is soothing and comforting.

[@Storm317]

When he compared it to Taylor Swift I TOTAL HEARD IT

[@kerronwalker1589]

It's very inline with Ellie goulding burn and taylor swift blank space

[@poshjuice]

same! the “every day every night” part sounds extremely similar to “oh my god look at that face” part from taylor’s blank space, but also the drop in the chorus has some 1989 vibes, very reminiscent of jack antonoff’s work

[@ilyimy]

same! the first time i heard it, Taylor Swift comes into my mind.

[@Bom.1071]

It really sounds like taylor which is so awesome.

[@puteriqistina3412]

Theres a mashup of rose's on the ground and taylor swift's style which sounds so right for some reason!

[@roxanac.w9312]

i literally thought that gone and on the ground sounded like something Taylor Swift would've sang and wrote omg our minds 2:37

[@Cecil1213]

Gone I felt like it was a stretch since it was a breakup song but then again that's all I have listened to from Taylor that's kind of why I stopped listening to her now that I think about it again

[@yourpompomsaremine]

@@Cecil1213 we got on the ground which isn’t a love song at least. I’m happy that she chose on the ground as her title track

[@skchimmy7155]

the "every day every night" part reminds me of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" that part that goes "oh my god, look at that face"

there are parts in on the ground that is similar to Taylor swifts blank space

Her father told her to go to Sydney to audition for YG Entertainment. She was the only one selected out of hundreds, so at 16 she went to YG in Seoul, Korea to be a trainee for 4 years before debuting with Blackpink August 2016. Extraordinary voice and unique!!

[@poopoopants7904]

my favorite part of roses voice/songs are her vocal inflections. man she really knows how to control her voice!!

[@roomofmirros]

Everyone hates that chorus but this is the first time this type of chorus works for me in 4 years of hearing blackpink's music 😭 aside from musical stuff, I'd be REALLY interested in a full album from her, all lyrics written by her! The lyrics are definitely super personal in here and I'd LOVE to hear more of it, even if the music will not be for me! *Side not that I really love the bridge, there is juts one single synth and her vocals which makes it very lonely and sad :(

[@dontunderstamitethepowerof2295]

Different people has diferent choice in music It's not that everyone hated it......so many people loved it some people didn’t like it

[@pratamaputra000]

I don't really like it. I still think that there must be other chorus that more suits for this song. But I can listen to it.

[@milkyuuu6170]

I think the chorus is a hit or miss but will hit when you listen to it more and more. I didn't like the chorus at first because it felt empty and kinda long (I love their vocal choruses but I dont mind beat drops like KTL), but I definitely had to listen to OTG more and I like the chorus now, it makes the song unique. I love the message although I kinda expected a rock/grudge solo from her, I love it.

[@justexisting7859]

Isnt the chorus deep house? I thought playing with fire also deep house

[@flymetotheup9904]

It's not a easy to listen song but I gets better when we hear it more. I thought gone is better than this lyrically, sonically. At first time I listened to both song the feeling is difference and I instantly know which I like.

[@raniabhasin3169]

I have never been this early, it’s 3:28 am here in Australia so I’ll just say I love your channel so much! Honestly I look forward to every reaction, I’ve been watching for so long and I’m so happy how much love and attention you are getting ~ it’s so deserved! Keen for this reaction too heheh as always.

THANK YOU. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT OF TAYLOR. I'm so happy that Rosé it's going for this sound, it suits her so much

[@melaniedo6866]

When Sam went “oh thank you” and Raffi went “she flipped, she flipped, she mixed, and came back down” like he hit euphoria. I felt that

[@jordansarkisian]

IMO this feels like an extremely standard run of the mill Taylor Swift style western indie pop song, but they did do it perfectly and it does fit the Rose vibe very well. She does seem to like this kind of music and I didn't expect something groundbreaking or innovative to the extreme from her at all. It's not for me, but in terms of the artist and their interests/style I think it makes a lot of sense. Also for context I love Blackpink (older BP stuff anyways) and Rose is one of my favorite people in Kpop. Just giving my honest take on the release, imo I can be a fan while still not liking everything.

[@KatimaMulilo]

Totally agreed. My interest was how it would do with the Korean tastes, and it seemed to peak at #4 on Gaon.

[@migukmystic3940]

I tend to dislike Blackpink’s American pop tracks, just not my taste. But this one is actually kinda good

[@tp5487]

@@migukmystic3940 Just purely wanting to know here, how could you dislike a song? Lmfao Cuz not liking and disliking is different Not liking is just a neutral feeling towards something While disliking means you have a slight negative feeling for that thing

Also another thing that makes it unique from other pop songs is the tight bass drop using the mixolydian mode!!! Love it so much

[@leapeguet6379]

When I heard everyone talk about 'on the ground' I just thought it was only because it's Rosé first solo album and didn't listen to it (not judging her, I like Blackpink) but after I hear it this morning I was like .... blown away 😮... I just wanted to dance, laugh and cry at the same time ... No wonder she has more than 130 million views

[@beingme._.eilonwy4571]

Watching your videos makes me appreciate the music so much more. You don’t realize how much thought goes into it until someone shows or explains how complex it is and the work that went into it.

[@mantrar4116]

I like watching raffi and sam. From the beginning of the video until the end, education, entertainment, such a complete video. Keep going guys! And thank you for reacting to rosé, she spends a lot of time for this project and seeing you guys learn a lot of things from this song means the message that rosé send to us is perfectly delivered.

[@loverosie3935]

honestly rosé's chosen technique works perfectly for her and she's very comfortable with it but its hard for others to copy that's why people assume she's 'forcing' her voice but really its just that others cant copy her specific style comfortably

[@cssptrc]

Ever since I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and I ended up binge-watching your videos, my entire music listening experience kinda transformed?? Idk if it makes sense, but I now notice things about songs that I just glossed over before. I feel like I'm a bit more of an active music listener, if that makes sense. And sometimes I imagine you guys in my head, analysing the chord progression of song I'm listening to. 😂 I hope you're all doing great and keeping safe!!! Until the next video, love your content and you guys!!!! 🤍

[@juvelynmangitngit680]

Hi, Umu! I don't know if you heard about it but Winner's main vocalist Kang Seungyoon just released his long-awaited solo IYAH.

I hope you can react to that. Love your vids as always!
